-2-

1.4 Governing Documents; Board and Officers. At the Effective Time:

(a) the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit D until thereafter amended as provided by the DLLCA and such certificate of formation;

(b) the certificate of incorporation of Parent shall be the certificate of incorporation of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Parent shall file one or more amendments to its certificate of incorporation, to the extent approved by the holders of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 5.3 and not previously filed, to (i) change the name of Parent to “Salarius Pharmaceuticals, Inc.”, (ii) effect the Nasdaq Reverse Split, (iii) increase the authorized shares of Parent Common Stock, to the extent requested by Company prior to the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus / Information Statement and approved by Parent Stockholders, and (iv) make such other changes as are mutually agreeable to Parent and Company;

(c) the operating agreement of the Surviving Company shall be the operating agreement of Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms of such operating agreement, the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company and the DLLCA;

(d) the bylaws of Parent shall be the bylaws of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that effective at the Effective Time, Parent shall amend its bylaws to make such changes as are mutually agreeable to Parent and Company;

(e) the directors and officers of Parent, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent, shall be as set forth in Section 5.13; and

(f) the managers and officers of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of formation and operating agreement of the Surviving Company, shall be the directors and officers of Parent as determined by Section 5.13, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.13.

1.5 Conversion.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Company or any Company Member:

(i) each Company Unit held or owned by Company, any Company Subsidiary, Parent, or Merger Sub, if any, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

-3-

(ii) subject to Section 1.5(c), each Company Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding units to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i)) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined as follows:

(A) each Company Series A Preferred Unit shall be converted into (x) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to $1,089.00 divided by the Parent Stock Per Share Value plus (y) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

(B) each Company Common Unit shall be converted into a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and

(C) each Company Profits Interest Common Unit shall be converted into a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the Merger Date Profits Interest Unit Net Value with respect to such Company Profits Interest Common Unit, divided by (b) the Parent Stock Per Share Value;

with the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock due to the holders of Company Units referred to as the “Merger Consideration” and an example of the calculations resulting in such are illustrated in Schedule 1.5. Subject to Section 1.5(c), the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock deliverable under Sections 1.5(a)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) shall equal the number of Company Merger Shares.

(b) If any Company Profits Interest Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or the risk of forfeiture under any applicable agreement with Company, then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such Company Profits Interest Common Unit will to the same extent be unvested or subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture and subject to vesting or lapse of repurchase option on the same basis as applicable to the Company Profits Interest Common Units for which the Parent Common Stock is received in conversion, and the book-entry shares of such Parent Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such agreement.

(c) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Units who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.8 and accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market (or such other Nasdaq market on which the Parent Common Stock then trades) on the date the Merger becomes effective. If shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to a holder of Company Profits Interest Common Units will be treated as unvested or subject to a repurchase option or risk of

-4-

forfeiture pursuant to Section 1.5(b), then the determination of whether a fractional share of Parent Common Stock would be issued in connection with the Merger to such holder shall be determined separately for shares of Parent Common Stock to be received which are not subject to the provisions of Section 1.5(b) and the shares attributable to each separate restricted unit award agreement subject to continuing restrictions under Section 1.5(b), and any cash payment (rounded to the nearest whole cent) with respect to a fractional share subject to the provisions of Section 1.5(b) shall be payable by Parent (without interest) at the time of and subject to the restrictions to which such fractional share was subject.

(d) The Merger Sub Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Company Common Unit of the Surviving Company.

(e) If, between the time of calculating the conversion in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(ii) and the Effective Time, the outstanding Company Units or Parent Common Stock have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares, units or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Nasdaq Reverse Split to the extent such split has not previously been taken into account in calculating the conversions in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(ii)), combination or exchange of shares or units, the conversions calculated in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(ii) shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Company Units the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

1.6 Calculation of Parent Net Cash.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall be the date that is 10 calendar days prior to the anticipated date for Closing, as agreed upon by Parent and the Company at least 10 calendar days prior to the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Anticipated Closing Date”). On or prior to the Determination Date, Parent shall provide the Company with a list that sets forth, as of the Determination Date, a good faith estimate of the amount of each known Liability of Parent that is individually in excess of $10,000 or in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate, which had not previously been disclosed to the Company in the Parent Disclosure Schedule. Within five calendar days following the Determination Date, Parent shall deliver to the Company a schedule (the “Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Parent’s good faith, estimated calculation of Parent Net Cash as of the Anticipated Closing Date (using an estimate of Parent’s accounts payable and accrued expenses, in each case as of the Anticipated Closing Date and determined in a manner substantially consistent with the definition of Parent Net Cash and, to the extent not inconsistent with the definition of Parent Net Cash, the manner in which such items were determined for Parent’s most recent SEC filings) (the “Net Cash Calculation”) as of the Anticipated Closing Date prepared and certified by Parent’s CFO (or if there is no CFO, the principal accounting officer for Parent). Parent shall make the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, as reasonably requested by the Company, available to the Company and, if requested by the Company, its accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

-5-

(b) Within three calendar days after Parent delivers the Net Cash Schedule (the “Response Date”), the Company will have the right to dispute any part of such Net Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice to that effect to Parent (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Net Cash Calculation.

(c) If on or prior to the Response Date, (i) the Company notifies Parent in writing that it has no objections to the Net Cash Calculation or (ii) the Company fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 1.6(b), then the Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Parent and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Parent Net Cash, which agreed upon Parent Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of Parent and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Parent Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.6(d) within three calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Parent and the Company may mutually agree upon), then Parent and the Company shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized national standing (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Net Cash Calculation. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, and Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within 10 calendar days of accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm of Parent Net Cash shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm and must be within the range of values assigned to each item by Parent and the Company. The determination of the amount of Parent Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 1.6(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Parent Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Parent Net Cash (and for the avoidance of doubt the fees and expenses to be paid by Parent shall reduce the Parent Net Cash). For example, if Company assigned a value to Parent Net Cash of $3,400,000 and Parent assigned a value to Parent Net Cash of $3,500,000, and if the Accounting Firm determined that Parent Net Cash was $3,480,000 (i.e., allocating 80% of the $100,000 in dispute to Parent and 20% of the $100,000 in dispute to Company), then 80% of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm would be allocated to Company and 20% of such fees and expenses would be allocated to Parent. If this

-6-

Section 1.6(e) applies as to the determination of the Parent Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date described in Section 1.6(a), upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 1.6(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine Parent Net Cash again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Party may request a re-determination of Parent Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than 10 Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

1.7 Closing of Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all Company Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of Company Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as Company Members; and (b) the membership transfer books of Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any Company Units shall be made after the Effective Time.

1.8 Exchange Mechanics.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent and Company shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent (i) the aggregate number of book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Merger Consideration issuable to Company Members pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.5(c). The book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Units immediately prior to the Effective Time, as set forth on the Allocation Certificate: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of a valid certificate previously representing any Company Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent in their possession, in exchange for book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, surrender of certificates representing Company Units to the Exchange Agent, if any, together with such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent: (A) such Company Member shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor one or more book-entry shares representing the portion of the Merger Consideration in a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c)); and (B) upon delivery of such consideration to the applicable holder in accordance with Section 1.5, any certificates previously representing the Company Units of such Company Member shall be cancelled and extinguished. If any certificate previously representing any Company Units has been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Parent Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such certificate and, at Parent’s discretion, may also require such owner to post a bond indemnifying Parent against any claim suffered by Parent related to the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or any Parent Common Stock issued in exchange thereof as Parent may reasonably request.

-7-

(c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to Company Members six months after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any Company Members shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Company Member such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or under any other applicable Legal Requirement and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable), from any recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e) No Party shall be liable to any Company Member or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

1.9 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Company to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Company, then the officers and managers of the Surviving Company shall be fully authorized, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of Company, in the name of Merger Sub and otherwise) to take such action.

1.10 Tax Consequences of the Merger. For federal income Tax purposes, the Merger, including the deemed contribution by the Company Members of their membership interests in the Company and the receipt by the Company Members of Parent Common Stock, is intended to constitute an exchange of property for stock that satisfies the requirements of Section 351(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Parties will cooperate to achieve the intended tax treatment and will not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with such treatment.

1.11 Certificates.

(a) Parent will prepare and deliver to Company, at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of Parent in a form reasonably acceptable to Company, which sets forth a true and complete list, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, of the number of Parent Outstanding Shares and each component thereof (broken down by outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock, Parent Options, and other relevant securities) (“Parent Outstanding Shares Certificate”).

-8-

(b) Company will prepare and deliver to Parent, at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of Company in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, which sets forth a true and complete list, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (giving effect to the closing of the financing contemplated by the Subscription Agreements) of: (a) the number and the record holders of Company Units, and (b) the portion of the Merger Consideration each such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Allocation Certificate”).

1.12 Warrants to be issued to Parent Stockholders. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall pay a dividend of, or distribute, to Parent Stockholders of record as of a date and time determined by Parent Board of Directors (provided that such date is on or prior to the Effective Time) one right (each, a “Right” and collectively the “Rights”) per share of Parent Common Stock (“Warrant Distribution”). Each Right shall entitle the holder thereof to receive a warrant to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (each a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”) six months and one day following the Closing Date (the “Issuance Date”). Each Right shall be evidenced by the certificate for the associated share of Parent Common Stock registered in the name of the holder of such share of Parent Common Stock (which certificate for Parent Common Stock shall be deemed also to be a certificate for the associated Right) and not by separate certificates, except that the Rights associated with any uncertificated shares of Parent Common Stock shall be evidenced by the registration of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Parent’s share register in the respective names of the holders thereof (which registration shall also be deemed to be registration of ownership of the associated Rights). The Rights (and the right to receive certificates therefor) shall be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the associated shares of Parent Common Stock, and the transfer of such shares of Parent Common Stock shall constitute the transfer of the associated Rights. The Warrants shall contain customary terms and conditions, provided that the Warrants:

(a) shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (“Warrant Exercise Price”) equal to the fair market value of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Closing Date (such exercise price subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Parent Common Stock), which fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price of Parent Common Stock on the Closing Date (if the Closing Date is a trading day) or the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (if the Closing Date is not a trading day);

(b) shall be immediately exercisable;

(d) shall, at the discretion of Parent, be deemed exercised on a cashless basis at the closing of an issuance and sale of Parent Common Stock in an equity financing with gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 (the “Qualified Financing”), upon the closing of which, the holders of Warrants shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the greater of:

(i) 120% * WAV / VWAP

(ii) 110% * [VWAP – WEP] * WS / VWAP

-9-

(e) shall be exercisable, in the aggregate, with respect to that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to (i) the Warrant Aggregate Value divided by (ii) the value (determined using the Black-Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx option pricing formula assuming a volatility of 75% and a risk-free rate equal to the 5-year US treasury rate in effect on the date used for determining the exercise price of the Warrants) of a warrant to purchase a share of Parent Common Stock on the date used for determining the exercise price of the Warrants (such value subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Parent Common Stock), provided that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Warrants shall not be less than zero.

The “Warrant Aggregate Value” shall be determined in accordance with the following formula.

WAV = [PTV + PNC – PTNC] – [PAP * [CTV + CSA—CTSA] / CAP]

For purposes of the foregoing formulae, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) WAV shall mean the Warrant Aggregate Value.

(ii) PTV shall mean Parent’s target valuation of $10,500,000, which valuation assumes that Parent will have Parent Net Cash equal to the Parent Target Net Cash at the Closing.

(iii) PNC shall mean Parent Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date (as determined pursuant to Section 1.6).

(iv) PTNC shall mean $3,300,000 (“Parent Target Net Cash”), which is Parent’s target net cash at the Anticipated Closing Date.

(v) PAP shall mean Parent Allocation Percentage.

(vi) CTV shall mean Company Merger Date Equity Value.

(vii) CSA shall mean the actual value of Company Series A Preferred Units that the Company has issued and sold pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, determined at the Anticipated Closing Date.

(viii) CTSA shall mean $7,000,000, which is the target value of Company Series A Preferred Units for the Company to issue and sell pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

(ix) CAP shall mean Company Allocation Percentage.

(x) VWAP shall mean the volume weighted average price of Parent Common Stock during the 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately preceding the date of any deemed exercised of the Warrants on a cashless basis.

-10-

(xi) WEP shall mean Warrant Exercise Price.

(xii) WS shall mean Warrant Shares.

1.13 Tax Consequences of the Warrant Distribution. For federal income Tax purposes, the Warrant Distribution is intended to constitute a distribution of stock under Section 305(a) of the Code (and not under Section 305(b) of the Code) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Parties will cooperate to achieve the intended tax treatment and will not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with such treatment.

Except to the extent prohibited by any confidentiality agreement or similar agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, such Party shall keep the other Party informed, on a current basis, in all material respects with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and any modification thereto. In addition to the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other Party with at least five Business Days’ written notice of a meeting of its board of directors or board of managers (or any committee thereof) at which its board of directors or board of managers (or any committee thereof) is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal it has received.

(d) Each Party shall and shall cause its respective Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such third party (or its Representatives) in possession of non-public information in respect of such Party or its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of such Party or its Subsidiaries to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

-69-

(d) Unless the Parent Board of Directors has effected a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.3(c), Parent’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.3(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Parent Board Recommendation.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or its Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the Parent Stockholders a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act (other than Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act), (ii) making any disclosure to the Parent Stockholders if the Parent Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Parent Stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the Parent Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses “(i)” and “(ii),” any such disclosure or public statement

-70-

shall be deemed to be a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the Parent Board of Directors reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within five Business Days of such disclosure or public statement.

5.4 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to comply promptly with all Legal Requirements that may be imposed on such Party with respect to the Contemplated Transactions and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 6, and Article 7 or Article 8, as the case may be, hereof, to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, as promptly as practicable.

5.5 [Reserved].

5.6 Parent Employee and Benefits Matters; Parent Options.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Company pursuant to written notice provided to Parent no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date and except with respect to Parent Associates listed in Section 5.6(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, effective no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause any of its Subsidiaries to, terminate the employment and service of each Parent Associate (the “Terminated Parent Associates”) such that neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary shall have any Parent Associate in its employ or service as of the Effective Time (other than those listed in Section 5.6(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule). As a condition to payment of any Terminated Parent Associate Payment to a Terminated Parent Associate and prior to the Closing Date, Parent will obtain from each Terminated Parent Associate an effective release of claims in a form previously provided to or made available by Parent to Company; provided that Parent shall not be required to increase the amount of any Terminated Parent Associate Payment to such Terminated Parent Associate in order to obtain such release. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply, in all material respects, with all of the requirements of the WARN Act and any applicable state Legal Requirement equivalent with respect to the Terminated Parent Associates. Section 5.6(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule sets forth, with respect to each Terminated Parent Associate, Parent’s good faith estimate of the amount of all change of control payments, severance payments, termination or similar payments, retention payments, bonuses and other payments and benefits (including any COBRA costs), owed to or to be paid or provided to each Terminated Parent Associate, and the amount by which any of such Terminated Parent Associate’s compensation or benefits may be accelerated or increased, in each case, whether under any Parent Employee Plan or otherwise, as a result of (i) the execution of this Agreement, (ii) the consummation of the applicable Contemplated Transactions, or (iii) the termination of employment or service of such Terminated Parent Associate (together, the “Terminated Parent Associate Payments”). Prior to the Closing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Terminated Parent Associate Payments to be paid and satisfied in full.

(b) Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Parent Board of Directors shall adopt resolutions to terminate (i) all Parent Employee Plans that are “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of ERISA, including but not limited to any Parent Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “Parent 401(k) Plan”), and (ii) each other Parent Employee Plan, in each case to the extent written notice is provided by Company to Parent no later than 30 calendar days prior to the Closing Date instructing Parent to terminate any such Parent Employee Plan. Parent shall provide Company with evidence that Parent Board of Directors has adopted resolutions to terminate such Parent Employee Plan(s) (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date). The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Parent also shall take such

-72-

other reasonable actions in furtherance of terminating such Parent Employee Plan(s) as Company may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the Parent 401(k) Plans would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then Parent shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Company no later than 14 calendar days prior to the Closing Date.

(c) This Section 5.6 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.6, express or implied, will (i) constitute or be treated as an amendment of any Parent Employee Plan or Company Employee Plan (or an undertaking to amend any such plan), (ii) prohibit Parent, any Parent Affiliate, Company, or any Company Affiliate from amending, modifying or terminating any Parent Employee Plan or Company Employee Plan pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms thereof, or (iii) confer any rights or benefits on any Person other than Parent and Company.

5.7 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Company shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Parent or a Subsidiary thereof (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Parent or a Subsidiary thereof, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time and (ii) reimburse each D&O Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such D&O Indemnified Party in connection with defending any such claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for directors or officers of Delaware corporations. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Company from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, as applicable, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such person is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law.

-73-

(b) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent and the certificate of formation and operating agreement of Surviving Company shall contain, and Parent shall cause the certificate of formation and operating agreement of the Surviving Company to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of Parent or a Subsidiary thereof than are presently set forth in Parent’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years’ time from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Parent or a Subsidiary thereof.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall obtain and, within 30 days after the Closing, fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least $10 million in the aggregate of Side A DIC coverage and at least $15 million in the aggregate of Side A/B/C coverage and otherwise containing terms and conditions that are comparable to Parent’s existing policies with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “D&O Tail Policy”). During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Parent shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Company not to) take any action to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived.

(d) Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by each D&O Indemnified Party in connection with its enforcement of its rights provided in this Section 5.7.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Parties by law, the Parent’s certificate of incorporation (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), statute, the Parent’s bylaws (as in effect on the date of this Agreement) or Contract (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), which shall survive the Effective Time and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. The obligations of Parent under this Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.7 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.7 applies, as well as their heirs and representatives, shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.7).

(f) In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7. Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Company under this Section 5.7. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Parent or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.7 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.
